Good question, Jenny.
That’s referring to priming the filter/housing with Sea Foam to clean fuel injectors.
Here’s a video on a diesel truck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=544E_X2oUgM
Here’s a summary of the instructions:
Getting started:
- Start and warm up the engine to operating temperature, then shut off.
- Remove the primary fuel filter and drain the filter/filter housing. Though not required, we recommend installing a new filter.
- Depending on filter type, fill entire filter/housing cavity with straight Sea Foam.
- Install the new filter while making sure there is no air in the filter or housing.
- With the filter primed, start the engine and let it run for one to two minutes, then shut off the engine.
- Allow five to fifteen minutes for the Sea Foam to hot soak into the deposit buildup.
- After the soak period, restart the engine and be prepared to drive/operate for approximately 30 miles or 30 minutes. Don’t be afraid to run the engine hard when possible and safe. An engine under load produces the necessary heat and compression for optimal cleaning.
Hope that helps and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions!
